Radnor Lake State Natural Area Davidson Co. Nashville TN Observation date: 1/17/11 Notes: Lake still partially ice covered. Number of species: 33 Wanting to get out of the house on my day off Monday, I went to Radnor Lake, where I have not visited for a couple months. The road still had plenty of snow and ice on it, but I made it around the lake without falling. Best birds of the morning were 4 female PURPLE FINCHes at Long Bridge. There were 10 species of ducks on the still very much frozen lake, certainly a nice variety. Best of the bunch were four male CANVASBACKs and major numbers of WOOD DUCKs, a bit of a surprise for this deep into winter.
